Thousands of under-age Tommies threw their lives away in WWI singing this:

Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile
While you've a lucifer to light your fag,
Smile boys, that's the style.
What's the use of worrying?
It never did a thing worthwhile, so
Pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile...
